The Great Plant-Based Con: Why eating a plants-only diet won't improve your health or save the planet by Jayne Buxton
Plant-based is best for health, go vegan to help save the planet, eat less meat... Almost every day we are bombarded with the seemingly incontrovertible message that we must reduce our consumption of meat and dairy - or eliminate them from our diets altogether. But what if the pervasive message that the plant-based diet will improve our health and save the planet is misleading - or even false? What if removing animal foods from our diet is a serious threat to human health, and a red herring in the fight against climate change. In THE GREAT PLANT-BASED CON, Jayne Buxton demonstrates that each of these 'what-ifs' is, in fact, a reality. Drawing on the work of numerous health experts and researchers, she uncovers how the separate efforts of a constellation of individuals, companies and organisations are leading us down a dietary road that will have severe repercussions for our health and wellbeing, and for the future of the planet. THE GREAT PLANT-BASED CON is neither anti-plant nor anti-vegan - it is a call for us to take an honest look at the facts about human diets and their effect on the environment. Shocking and eye-opening, this book outlines everything you need to know to make more informed decisions about the food you choose to eat. Read more
I went vegan in 1994. At the time there was little hype about veganism and I did it purely for the animals, even though I believed it would probably harm me. But, as time went on suddenly it seemed I was on the healthiest, most planet friendly diet that ever existed. My reality didn't quite match what I was told, but I was just not doing right I just wasn't good enough. But, I started to do my own research which wasn't easy, and I listened to my body. And I had already come across some of the information in this book. This book is very well researched. And is packed full of information. The nutrition side is very fascinating, although I have been a member of several vegan groups I was never advised about properly about nutrition and I had no clue what I lacked until problems arose. But all the book interests me. As for the environmental side I am amazed how many times I have been mislead. As it wasn't my motivation for veganism I blindly accepted every statement without question. Its interesting to see it from another angle. And there are areas I plan to learn more about after reading this The how should we eat section also proved useful. Again it has given me new inspiration and ideas. I know I have a lot still to learn but its a good starting point I bought the kindle version but do plan to get the paperback as well, as I want to keep it as a reminder as to why after over 20 yrs I am no longer vegan. It shows the need for there to be an open discussion, and education
